About Bella

Meet Bella, a spirited German Shepherd and Labrador mix, approximately 4-5 years old and weighing around 80 pounds. Bella made her way to rescue after her previous family moved, and thankfully, she found a safe haven. She’s an affectionate girl who loves cuddles, car rides, and playing in water. Though she gets along well with cats and enjoys the company of other dogs—preferably males—she thrives as the queen of her domain. Bella is house trained and knows her basic commands but can be protective over certain items, so she’s looking for a home without small children. Active outings like walks and games are fun for her, though her endurance may not match her size. Bella is spayed, microchipped, and up-to-date on her vaccinations, including canine influenza. If you’re ready for a loyal companion, Bella is eager to meet you and share her love. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
